  • Good content podcast

    I really enjoy the banter on this podcast between the Drummer 🄁 dad šŸ‘Ø and his son about topics which usually concern content produced by the music group YES and associated other musicians.

  • Sound

    June 20th episode has bad sound. One of the 2 hosts cannot be heard loud enough. It’s uneven as the father is louder than the son. Haven’t heard the other episodes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 238 - Looking Back at Play for Chris 12 with Miguel Falcão (miguelbass)
Q: Are there songs or eras you're hoping fans explore in future editions?
Miguel expresses interest in early career material from before Yesshift and even hints at exploring songs from The Sin, Mabel Greer's Toy Shop, and other pre-Yesshift projects, while remaining open to surprises from fans.
Ep 235 - Levin Torn White Producer Scott Schorr Interview
Q: What was the recording process like across long-distance and studio locations?
The process involved extensive, iterative layering: Scott built drum parts in New Zealand, then Tony and he added riffs in New York without prior material heard by Torn, treating the sessions as a massive puzzle to fit together later.
Ep 235 - Levin Torn White Producer Scott Schorr Interview
Q: How did Levin Torn White come together and who were the key collaborators?
Scott explains that the project began with Tony Levin connecting with him after backstage encounters, assembling a core trio with Alan White and David Torn, while exploring additional guests like Alex Lifeson early on but ultimately sticking with Torn for the final sound.
Ep 233 - Billy Sherwood Interview: New Yes Album Aurora & More
Q: What has your experience been like transitioning to hands-off roles in mixing/engineering and having Steve Howe produce?
I trust the team and focus on serving the songs. Steve's production decisions, Curtis's engineering, and the collaboration across the band create a natural flow where I can contribute bass parts and vocals with confidence, while the core vision remains steered by the producer's instincts.
Ep 233 - Billy Sherwood Interview: New Yes Album Aurora & More
Q: There's a lot of talk about AI in music. What's your stance on AI composition and where do you think it fits in the future of music creation?
AI can be a tool, but the core of meaningful music is human emotion and the tactile process of making sound. AI may assist with prompts and textures, but I don't believe it will replace the human creative spark or the experiential aspect of playing and performing. The balance will be found as technology coexists with human artistry.
